This drawing shows a man in a bright red coat riding a horse. His blue pants have white stripes, and he wears a tall black hat with a feather. The horse is brown and stands on a patchy green field with a faint river in the background. The title says *A View of Somerset*, but the scene looks more like a soldier on parade than a landscape. The colors are bold and flat, not very realistic. Next, check out Romanticism to see how artists used emotion and drama in their work.
